Chapter 193 Legendary
After the treasure map incident on Loguetown, two things captured the world's attention.
The first was the Another Piece treasure map, which was said to have fallen into the hands of the Celestial Dragon Charloss and Doflamingo.
This left many pirates, who had been eyeing the treasure, sighing in frustration.
With the Celestial Dragons and Doflamingo both possessing immense power and now holding the treasure map, ordinary pirates found it nearly impossible to compete for the treasure.
The second matter was about Sig.
The World Economic Times, circulated worldwide, featured a headline about Sig: "Fierce Battle on Loguetown! Doflamingo and Sig End in a Draw!"
In this report, Sig was portrayed as a righteous and passionate man who fought Doflamingo for the sake of a young girl.
But the question arose:
"Is the infamous Sig really that kind of person?"
"His previous actions include burning the trash mountain terminal, attacking a Celestial Dragon, and declaring Another Piece in Loguetown... He's clearly a madman who thrives on chaos..."
"Has this notorious pirate with a 400 million berry bounty suddenly developed a conscience?"
While some were puzzled, others turned to a different newspaper.
This newspaper was a relatively unknown gossip tabloid. However, this particular issue sold surprisingly well.
Its front-page headline read: "Shocking! The Mountain Bandit King Publicly Confesses His Love to a 12-Year-Old Girl!"
The reporter who wrote this article claimed to have been on the scene in Loguetown and even captured a rare photo.
In the photo, Sig and a young maid were staring into each other's eyes. The girl, dressed in a maid outfit, held her cheeks with both hands, blushing with a shy yet happy expression...
This gossip tabloid had always had a mediocre reputation and sales, far from matching the World Economic Times.
But when these two contradictory newspapers were placed side by side, many immediately sided with the gossip tabloid.
After all, it was far more eye-catching than the serious news in the World Economic Times.
"So, Sig is that kind of person..."
"He really is a vicious mountain bandit..."
From that day on.
In the Grand Line, the name of the legendary lolicon Sig could silence the cries of little girls.
"Still crying? If you keep crying, the legendary lolicon demon king Sig will come for you!"
"What? Who's Sig? Have you seen this bounty poster? He loves young, cute little girls!"
"If he catches you, he'll force you to dress as a maid and scrub floors every day!"
"Waaah! Daddy, I'll never do it again..."
......
Shimotsuki Village, East Blue. Isshin Dojo.
In the attic, the dojo master, Koshiro, stretched and let out a tired sigh, though a satisfied smile lingered on his lips.
He was reviewing the blueprint for a real chainsaw sword he had redesigned.
The chainsaw sword on the blueprint had a single-edged blade to prevent self-injury and was also lighter.
Koshiro had also come up with a rough idea for crafting the saw blade.
"Now this is a chainsaw sword... Sig's chainsaw sword is no different from the ones you'd find in a store. It's completely unsuitable for combat."
"Speaking of which, Zoro's Three-Sword Style seems to pair well with a chainsaw..."
Koshiro muttered to himself.
In Zoro's Three-Sword Style, the main focus was on the two swords in his hands.
The third sword, held in his mouth, lacked offensive power and was more about restricting the enemy's movement.
After all, humans aren't giraffes. Even if the bite force were trained to match arm strength, the effectiveness of the third sword would still be limited.
But... if the third sword were Koshiro's specially designed chainsaw sword, it might solve the issue of insufficient offensive power.
Koshiro was momentarily inspired by this thought but quickly shook his head with a bitter smile.
His dojo had finally produced a promising swordsmanship talent. Why would he want to push this talent toward Sig's chainsaw style?
Having one Kuina using a chainsaw was already enough of a headache for Koshiro.
At that moment, footsteps approached.
Koshiro put away the blueprint and opened the attic door to see a dojo disciple running over.
"Master Koshiro, here's the newspaper you asked for. It's about that Mr. Sig."
Koshiro smiled as he took the newspaper, his expression slightly surprised.
"Why are there two? Are these different newspapers?"
Koshiro first turned his attention to the World Economic Times.
"Huh? Sig used a chainsaw to instantly defeat an 80 million berry pirate?"
Koshiro's expression showed a hint of surprise.
"Seems like Sig's chainsaw style is actually a real thing? I'll have to keep this newspaper away from Kuina."
"Otherwise, it'll only strengthen her resolve to learn the chainsaw style."
After skimming through it a few times, Koshiro turned his attention to the second newspaper.
Then... the ever-smiling Koshiro's smile vanished, and his eyes widened.
"No... this is just a gossip tabloid. It must be a rumor..."
Koshiro kept muttering to himself, but he couldn't help crumpling the newspaper in his hands.
.......
The next day.
Pleasure District, Loguetown.
Sig sat with a dark expression, staring at the newspaper on the table.
"Shocking! The Mountain Bandit King Publicly Confesses His Love to a 12-Year-Old Girl!"
The sensational headline, the outrageous title, and the completely fabricated content.
At first glance, Sig even thought he had written the article himself...
"The media in this world is truly shameless! Utterly unethical!"
"They're spreading rumors about me, the founder of the Tieba Tabloid!"
Sig felt the malice of the world.
"Is this karma? Is this the price for polluting the newspaper industry?"
Sig slumped on the sofa, gradually turning into a lifeless blob.
"Did Doflamingo feel the same way when he saw the bean-eyed report?"
"Enough. I don't want to use the Iruma card anymore..."
Sig sighed.
This card was indeed a lifesaver.
But the two times he had used it so far had backfired horribly...
The first time was back in Loguetown, facing Crocodile.
"The agreed time was one month. Including the voyage, it's about time to set sail."
Thinking about facing Crocodile again, Sig felt the pressure.
But before that, Sig wasn't going to let the gossip tabloid incident slide.
A few minutes later, in the reception room, Sig and Stussy sat facing each other.
"So, you want our Pleasure District to intervene and warn that gossip tabloid, forcing them to issue an apology?"
Stussy took a sip of tea, her lips curling into a thoughtful smile as she looked at Sig.
